Swing Check Valve 1 1/2" FIPT PVC
SKU: VA-SCV15T
Swing Check Valve 1 1/2" FIPT PVC
Convey water to flow one-way through pipe and prevent backflow with the PVC Swing Check Valve, 1-1/2 in. IPS FPT X FPT. Water is conveyed one-way through the valve when the flap opens. This leak-resistant valve connects two 1-1/2 in. MPT pipes in an irrigation or other pressurized system. Prevents costly property damage, pipe corrosion, and system issues. Durable check valve is made of PVC plastic. Flapper is made of EPDM. Use fittings and other valves to set up a new irrigation system, expand an existing system, or make repairs.
Applications -
- Directs water flow one-way through pipe when flap opens and allows water through. Prevents costly property damage, pipe corrosion, and system issues.
- Use for subsurface irrigation or in sprinkler control system installation; works with most PVC pipe to transport water and prevent backflow in pressurized systems
- As part of a complete flow management system, the Threaded Swing Check Valve connects to 1-1/2 in. MPT pipes and other system components to allow water to flow through

Thread Sealants: Teflon Tape or Paste?
Teflon tape is a quick and clean way to seal threads in most applications. When applying Teflon tape, care must be taken to apply the tape correctly or leaking may still occur. You should wrap the thread 2-3 times around the threads in a counter-clockwise direction so that the tape doesn't bunch up when it is screwed into the pipe. Do not over tighten, as this may cause the tape to become thin or break in spots, while under tightening may allow water through.
For professional, long-term or industrial applications, Teflon paste, although messy and more difficult to apply, will provide a more reliable seal that won't leak if the plastic pipe distorts over time. Teflon paste should be applied to both the male and female threads.
